firefox bookmarks frozen search results

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I was actually googling “firefox bookmarks frozen” because I can’t add or reorder any of my bookmarks in Firefox, and I desperately want to bookmark some CDs I have been listening to through my Naxos subscription. I didn’t find any useful information, but I did see a line “Firefox has been frozen by your add-on.” in the search results. Even though the site was something I’ve never heard of (MyProps.org), it didn’t have google’s warning about being a spyware site, so I clicked on it.  The article in question turned out to be just a link to another site, which turned out to be a photo gallery from the Telegraph (UK): “A tight spot: the silly animals that found themselves a bit stuck“.  Great photos!  Except the one with the six-week-old fox cub; that one was very sad. Thank goodness someone found the cub before it died.  Of course, I still can’t add bookmarks.
